The new plan for the city's Cathedral Square will see a mix of green and paved surfaces to create a strong city heart and encourage events. Its execution is intended to be phased, rolled out in stages as building projects around the square were completed.
As suggested in a draft concept released last year, the redesigned square would have three main spaces, each with their own character – a green zone with trees and water southeast of Christ Church Cathedral, a youth-friendly meeting space by the new library, and a large event and meeting space on the western side.
Were you aware of the plans? What do you think about them? Do you like the designs? Is there anything missing?

One very sweet fluffy cat hanging around crying and very hungry.
We think due to his size he is pretty young.
This little guy (we think it's a he... possibly not neutered) turned up last night crying loudly to get inside. But we have 3 cats and a dog that don't really want him here. We fed him and gave him a few cuddles hoping he might go home. He was very hungry.
He was still here this morning crying even louder and was all wet. So we dried him off and gave him some breakfast. He's quite distressed and isn't making any attempt to leave. We have to keep him outside although he keeps trying to brave our barking dog and beg to come inside. If he continues to hang around we will take him to the vet to get him chip checked. But being possibly not neutered (not 100% sure) I don't have much hope he is chipped either.
Currently hiding in our tree house or under the shed out the back.

So friendly and purry, someone must be missing him. He smells like perfume or recently washed

REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.
A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.

"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.
Weeks later, neighbourhood Italian restaurant The Birdwood opened in Beckenham, and after giving them a chance to find their feet, I subjected the staff to the cruelest of tests: bringing four ravenous boys on a wet Saturday night.
When we booked, we had been warned that we would be at a high bar table and when I saw how packed the restaurant was when we arrived, I had to apologise as three boys had turned into four. Would that be a problem? It took some scrambling to find a spare chair but we were seated, no problem.
